Came across this dude on MTV2, my ears perked up because it didn’t sound like how Lupe Fiasco described “Suttin’ Suttin’ Suttin’, stack that cheese”. No. I continued to listen. I loved what I heard.
Loose and effortless in his performance.
Flow is as crystal clear as the video resolution! Though his style is minimalist he doesn’t lack substance, choosing and using his words wisely.
He’s also an artist with an apparel line that is gaining momentum called BonneyRunway.
He broke on to the scene with “The Pocket” representing D.C. something serious!
Tabi Bonney was born Tabiabuè Bonney in West Africa and raised in Washington D.C. Peep his bio here. In his early career he opened for acts like OutKast and Cam’ron. Also he’s participated in the annual Rock The Bells concert/festival series. With two albums, A Fly Guy’s Theme (2006) and Dope (2009) and The Jetsetter Mixtape under his belt and proving to be about his craft you’ll definitely be seeing more of him.
